A plant trip from 100% power has occurred due to an Excess Steam Demand Event
inside containment. Containment pressure is 5 psig. Auxiliary Feedwater is NOT
available and both Main Feedwater Pumps have tripped. EOP 9.0 has been entered.

following conditions the CRS has decided to feed ‘A’ S/G using the Condensate Pumps
in accordance with EOP 9.0, Success Path HR-2. The following conditions exist with
respect to the S/Gs:
‘B’ S/G pressure is 300 psia
